Here are some ways that might indicate that: 1) I have been working too hard; 2) my life is a tad out of balance; 3) I have to be one of the most boring individuals in the world. 1. I visited the Indianapolis Children’s Museum today. Our group of four were all in our 50s [...] Every few years, often when the lemming population is sparce, the Snowy Owl makes a foray southward from its home in the Arctic. It goes searching for food and has been spotted in places as far away as Alabama and Georgia. It’s journey is called irruptive, and birders often wait to see unusual visitors from [...] Guest blog entry from my wife, Robyn: http://occministers.wordpress.com/ . So, what did I talk about at the Winema Week of Missions? I was asked to focus on Africa for one adult session, and on current CMF ministries for another. I decided to use David Letterman’s Top Ten list for the Africa talk. I spoke about politics, health, education, and the status of Christianity.

This was the 39th meeting of the ASM, which was founded to promote the discipline of missiology. Its charter called for a meeting where mission agencies, missionaries, and mission professors could get together to promote their causes, fellowship, and learn from one [...] Everybody wants to be unique, to have something about them that nobody else in the world can claim. I think I was the only one in the entire world to have had this experience. It was about ten or fifteen years ago. But let me back up. When we were missionaries in Kenya I read [...] For many reading this blog, the information I am about to share is not new. Remember, I finished my doctoral studies back in 1989, so I have not been doing a ton of work in the library. A lot of my writing is done with the aid of current books since I write mainly about [...] Robyn and I just returned from a week of vacation in Texas. We rented a car and drove to San Antonio and the surrounding “hill country.” While there we learned that it was fiesta time, and that if we returned we could participate in NIOSA. We had no idea what that meant, but learned it stood [...] |
